Kos: "Why I won't write about Israel/Lebanon/Palestine fighting"

An incredibly shallow gesture towards moral equivalence:

. . . I grew up in a war zone. And there was one clear lesson I learned -- there will never be peace unless both sides get tired of the fighting and start seeking an alternative.

It's clear that in the Middle East, no one is sick of the fighting. They have centuries of grudges to resolve, and will continue fighting until they can get over them. And considering that they obviously have no interest in "getting over them", we're stuck with a war that will not end in any forseable future. It doesn't matter what we bloggers say. It doesn't matter what the President of the United States says. Or the United Nations. Or the usual bloviating gasbag pundits.

When two sides are this dead-set on killing each other, very little can get in the way.

We were just going to ignore the Kassam rockets and the kidnappings, but y'know, we weren't sick of fighting.

And I, for one, sure as heck have no desire to get sucked into that no-win situation. I just hope that war-fatigue sets in at some point.

Stunningly vacuous. Can Kos think of a better example of an act motivated by "war-fatigue" than the Gaza pull-out? Things were relatively peaceful between Israel and Lebanon. You might say that Hizbullah got sick of the peace.

Update: Was he answering this?
